Abstract
Antibiotics are chemical substances, either produced naturally by microorganisms or manufactured synthetically, that are lethal to other microorganisms. Antibiotic resistance (AR) describes the ability of a microorganism to be unaffected by (or resistant to) the effects of a particular antibiotic. A problem arises when a animal or person becomes infected with a disease-causing bacterium that harbors antibiotic resistance to the drug that would be the most suitable treatment for that infection.

India is a vast country of immense diversity.and for that the effectiveness of the antimicrobial was not same to all ,and the administration of them will either really cure or may act in opposite manner and will leads to the development os the antimicrobial resistance which is only due to the unaware use of the antibiotics.we had conducted the survey on some prescriptions of registered medicinal practitioner and find that there was an irrational use of antibiotic in our on community and this might be very serious as our survey is on the smallest level and what it may cause globally.So the use of antibiotic should be controlled.

The “Central Government Health Scheme” (CGHS) for the Central Govt. employees and their dependents was started in New Delhi in 1954. Subsequently, the scheme was extended to pensioners, freedom fighters and other specific groups of people. The scheme was introduced in Kolkata during 1972.

Abstract:
The present manuscript described the simple, rapid, accurate, sensitive, precise and economical Q- absorption ratio method for simultaneous determination of Cefixime and Moxifloxacin in combined tablet dosage form. Absorption ratio method uses the ratio of absorbances at selected wavelengths, one which is isoabsorptive point and other being the λ_max of the one of the components. Cefixime and Moxifloxacin shows isoabsorptive point at 275nm in 0.1N HCl. The second wavelength used is 295nm, which is λ_max of Moxifloxacin. The concentrations of the drugs were determined by using ratio of absorances at isoabsorptive point and at λ_max of Moxifloxacin. The method successfully applied to the Pharmaceutical formulation because no interference from the tablet formulation excipients was found. The results of analysis have been validated statistically and by recovery studies.

ABSTRACT :
A novel isocratic reverse-phase high performance liquid-chromatography method for determination of asenapine maleate was developed and validated after optimization of various chromatographic conditions. Samples were separated on a waters x-terra C₁₈ (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μ) analytical column. The mobile phase used was acetonitrile: 0.1M phosphate buffer (p^H 3.2) 65:35%v/v operated at 30 °C column oven temperature was pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹ and the column eluents were monitored at a wavelength of 272 nm. When sample was injected into the Finnigan surveyor high performance liquid-chromatography system through Finnigan surveyor auto-sampler injector, separation was achieved within 5.0 min. The present method demonstrated was validated with the acceptable values for selectivity, linearity (within the expected concentration range (10–50 μg mL⁻¹; r² > 0.999)), recovery (>95%), precision (%RSD < 2.0), sensitivity (limit of detection: 1.85 µg mL⁻¹ and lower limit of quantification: 2.34 µg mL⁻¹), robustness, and ruggedness.

ABSTRACT:
Lawsonia inermiscommonly known as Henna is a perineal herbaceous plant belonging to family Lauraceae. Traditionally it has been used to treat skin disease, dysentery, bronchitis, anemia and inflammation . The aim of present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous extract of Lawsonia leaves in rats. Aqueous extract was administered at a dose of 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg.
